We could add dreinks to the dinner.

It that your what you are propsoing as a increased bet?

[Joyce Carrington]

Indeed I am.

[Matt O'S oo4]

As you wish.

004 deals down two more cards to each of their hands.

Here we go...

[Joyce Carrington]

*frowns and thinks*

009: Hmm... what do you have?

[Matt O'S oo4]

Well, I'll be happy to show you my last card...I take it the betting is over?

I see that you have three Jacks and a King.
You can see that i have four cards that are all diamonds.

The last card is a mystery until we end the betting.

Or do you want to raise the stakes?

[Joyce Carrington]

009: Well...

*drops bowl of cherries onto the table*

*004 stares at it. Then begins to smile*

004: The story of our relationship.

*009 smiles as as well*

009: Bryce's bathroom, Blended Scotch... and cherries. So what do you say? Want to add this to the stakes?

[Matt O'S oo4]

This is the kind of game I always wish I could play.

004 puts his arms around her: Even when I lose, I win. But then, when it come to you...I never will.

I fold. You win...

Matt picks her up and kisses Joyce as he carries her off to Bryce's bathroom.

He drops his hole card on the table.

A Queen of Diamonds.

[Joyce Carrington]

009: Wait a minute.

004: What?

009: Before we fill this tub... I want to tell you something.

004: And what is that?

009: I want a re-match.

004: AGAIN?! But you won!

009: No, I didn't. Your last card was a Queen of Diamonds.

004: (stunned) How did you know?

009: I'm wearing contact lenses.

004: ??

009: They're from Q Branch. THAT kind of contact lenses.

004: Aaah... So you cheated?

009: No...

004: Yes, you cheated. And you also cheated in our car race.

009: Well...

004: Maybe I don't want to give you a re-match then.

009: But... *thinks* Just you wait, my dear. I'll get back at you.

[Matt O'S oo4]

Oh, NO, you don't. The ONE thing I want us to agree on in our relationship is NO PRACTICAL JOKES between us.

PROMISE me that.

PLEASE, my love.

[Joyce Carrington]

*009 thinks for a long time*

009: Hmm... the thought of having 003 set up one of his shaving cream boobytraps is very tempting...

*004 looks at her*

009: I guess I will have to keep it what it is... a thought.

*004 smiles*

009: You know what?

004: What?

009: I think I want a beer.

*004 looks at her. Is this Joyce? Does she want a BEER?*

009: Yes, darling, I AM that kind of girl. And please don't tell me you didn't know... you're about to marry me, remember?

004: But of course. Ahem.

*004 opens the fridge in Bryce's bathroom*

*in a far corner of the fridge - 004 almost cannot reach it - a single can of Heineken beer is visible*

*004 grabs it and opens it*

*a white substance squirts into his eyes*

*009 chuckles*

[Matt O'S oo4]

Now you're going to get it.

Matt grabs Joyce and kisses her deeply, getting shaving cream all over her face, making he laugh with surpirse.

How's that you little........

She grabs him and kisses him to make him shut up.

[Joyce Carrington]

*009 chuckles again*

009: Sorry dear, but a marriage without practical jokes isn't going to work for me. Now... is there any champagne in that fridge?

[Matt O'S oo4]

If ther is...are we coing to be able to drink it?

It will it blow my head off?

If you want practical jokes...*looks into here eyes* you should KNOW better than to get ME involved.

Don't you think??

*Wispers in her ear* I'll love you forever anyway!

[Joyce Carrington]

009: Just get the champagne, dear.

*004 gets champagne bottle out of fridge*

*opens it*

*cork shoots up to the ceiling, bounces off and hits him the eye*

*009 chuckles again*

*004 looks at her*

009: You have to believe me: I didn't know that would happen!

*chuckles again*

[Matt O'S oo4]

Pours glasses for each of them.

Hands one to her.

Smiling at her.

Ah, yes. I believe you. Just like I didn't know you would say yes.

But then, you did, didn't you?

[Joyce Carrington]

Oh, just shut up.

*pulls him into the tub*

We have about an hour til Bryce gets back.

[Matt O'S oo4]

Not to worry.

I have the key.

The only key.

Since I changed the lock.

*Putting his arms around her*

Know what I mean?

[Joyce Carrington]

*smiles*

Very good.

Want some music? Tchaikovsky?

[Matt O'S oo4]

I think that would be wonderful.

Oh, by the way, were going to be making a little of our own this evenign. I hope you don't mind.

004 tuns out the lights.

Just love those bubbles.

[Joyce Carrington]

Three hours later...

*009 is sitting behind her desk, playing a game of solitaire on the PC*

*hums a familiar tune*

Hm-hmm... we have all the time...

*hiccups*

*stares at bubble coming out of her mouth*

[Bryce (003)]

*Bryce enters office. Notices new set of keys on desk on top of note from 004*

"Borrowed the tub and had to secure the area. Here's the new keys. - 004"

Hmmm....

*looks in bathroom. Spotless...except for the black lace thong hanging from the shower head*

Note to self: Tell Matt to get a new tub in HIS office.

*grabs latest issue of "Naughty Spy Chicks" and lights a smoke*

"disrobing for the enemy"....oooo pictures.

Ooh, Bryce, congrats!!!

[Genrewriter]

Congrats, Bryce.

*008 and 002 sit in the outer office, glancing at their watches.*

008: So how long have we been waiting?

002: Oh, month. Month and a half or so.

008: Must be one marathon meeting.

002: Yeah...

*The two agents look around, glancing back at their watches.*

[Xenobia]

002: You know what? I say we break up this meeting Saigon style. Let's go find those new shaving guns Q designed....

008: Q designed shaving cream guns?

002: Self-Defense against John and Matt.

008: Ah...

002: Shall we head for Q branch?

008: Why not!

-- Xenobia

[Joyce Carrington]

*009 pops her head around the corner*

009: Did I hear someone saying my fiancee's name?

*008 and 002 look at each other*

002&008: Nooo....

002: We must go now.

009: Where to?

002: Q Branch.

008: Yeah, we need to get shaving cream guns...

*gets evil stare from 002*

008: Oops.

*009 starts jumping up and down*

009: Ooh! Ooh! Can I come? I'm trying a few practical jokes on Matt.

*winks at 002*

[Xenobia]

*Xenobia ponders for a moment*

002: Well...I don't know...Q might not give it to you because he knows you are Matt's fiancee, and you might use it against him.

009: Against Q! I could never do that!

002: Unless you had enough blended Scotch.

*Joyce assumes an angelic pose*

009: But I am trying to kick the habit, really I am.

*008 and 002 exchange looks*

*Joyce returns to her normal self*

009: Oh come on! Let me play!

*Xenobia pauses again and ponders*

002: Alright. You can come. (thinks to herself) We'll just nail you along with John and Matt later.

-- Xenobia

[Joyce Carrington]

*jumps up and down again*

009: Oh goodie goodie goodie! Can we go now? Can we go? Please?

*008 looks at 002*

008: I don't think she's drunk.

002: I know. I think it's caffeine.

009: It's bubbles!

*hiccups again and another bubble leaves her mouth*

[Xenobia]

002: This is a new one. She's soaped up on soap.

008: Maybe Q can figure out how to use it as a weapon.

002: Sure, "Do as we say, or we are sending Joyce Carrington."

-- Xenobia

[Joyce Carrington]

*burps and seven bubbles leaves her mouth*

009: Ooh... I think that was it.

008: Are you sure?

009: Yes. Yes, I feel quite normal now, actually.

*002 and 008 look at each other*

002: We need to be sure.

008: I'm waaay ahead of you.

*008 opens a tiny cupboard and gets two bottles out of it: one bottle of blended Scotch and a bottle of wine*

002: Which do you prefer?

009: That one. *points at blended Scotch*

008: She's fine.

Hmmm. At one shot of scotch per post....

...thats....22 shots in a liter.

....thats.....999 liters of....

Whoa.

Invite me to THAT party!

Blah

And, that bug in the offices is working perfectly. BEWARE of the shaving cream gun gang, now forming.

INteresting, I really thought that it was going to be a Shaving Gun. I really was looking forward to seeing whatever it was you were going to shave.

*shudders*

I can only imagine.

Hopefully it would have been 006.
